I have a score of 1900 right now and chances of getting merit scholarship are slim and i know i can give sat again in october and get a better score. so naturAlly i wont be able to send the october score when i apply for early admission. Do colleges give out merit scholarship im the regulR deadline as well?
There are some colleges that have deadlines for merit consideration of December, January, you need to look at every college’s website. Some colleges accept updated scores and will adjust a merit award.
Ask the schools which test date is the latest they accept.
Most will look at M and CR part of SAT, if that is 1300 or higher there should be a fair number of schools that offer merit.
If you are taking SAT in October you should get your scores by the end of Oct, you should be able to meet a Nov deadline, especially if you make sure you list that school to get the scores automatically when you take the test.
